There has been a growing interest in our graduates from employers over the past number of years. This is because Humber College offers a comprehensive program and gives students a solid grounding in woodworking. We stress the safe operation of common stationary machines and introduce basic manufacturing processes. The curriculum is guided by an independent industry based advisory board.
Students spend the majority of their time in our newly constructed 10,000 square foot woodworking lab. Within the lab there is a bench area for assembly and also kitchen cabinet installation area. All common woodworking machines are available for student use as well as a hydraulic veneer press, two computerized (CNC) routers and a vacuum pressing area for curved forms and veneering. A dedicated electronic classroom is available for lectures.
